MAKING IT REAL – YOUR WEEKLY ACTIVITY

Welcome to Class! I am so excited to be spending the next 90 days with you! Be sure you come to school each day prepared for more than you expect! That is

what I hope to deliver to you each day! We have so much to accomplish! Check the website for your curriculum map and your link to

the competencies for this class!http://users.kgcs.k12.va.us/blogit/dstrauss

In your daily life, you will be introduced to many different people and many different ways of doing things. During our time together, my

mission is for you to get to know yourself better through career discovery in order to set solid goals for your future and for you to get to know the people in your class – your work area – better so that you can work collaboratively with them not only in class, but in DECA! Take time

to appreciate others for what they have to offer, what gifts they can bring to the table, and be more tolerant of the diversity that is within

each of us. And most of all – HAVE FUN!

And now a word from James Brown:

JAMES BROWN – SPORTS COMMENTATOR

James Brown delivered a message at the Joe Gibbs’ Youth for Tomorrow Burgundy & Gold Banquet that I want to share with you this week. Youth for Tomorrow is a New Life Center for troubled teens. For many of these youth, it is the last stop before jail. At the New Life Center in Manassas, these young people get a new lease on their young lives… James Brown (TV sports host) had seven points to

share with the audience:

Develop good communication skills – not just speaking, but listening and writing. It might be hip to engage in slang, but you need the King’s English.

Dress and attire makes a statement about you before you open your mouth. Be presentable. Keep it clean and neat. You need to be a professional.

Be prompt. Timeliness is so very important particularly as you get ready for the world of work. It says you are dependable and reliable.

Thirst and hunger for knowledge. Don’t let anyone tell you what you can’t learn because of how challenging your background was or that you can’t do it.

Deal with adversity. The Bible says everyone will experience trials and tribulations, they will prepare you for the next level that will be bigger and better.Develop interpersonal skills working in a diverse environment. There is

strength in diversity. Everybody has a God-given gift – look for that in each person.

When you are done working, you can have fun. Successful organizations are those whose members enjoy one another when you are doing well.

CLASSROOM PROCEDURES THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO!

R-E-S-P-E-C-T EVERYTHING!!! Your supplies – bring your stuff every-day! Bring your book

every-day! Bring your notebook & composition book every-day! Bring pen/paper/thinking cap/open mind ever-day!
